One by one, he then proceeded to reject all of the reasons that we heard from everyone except, well, Steve Spagnuolo. That Andy Reid might be a lame-duck coach heading into next season. That he didn't want to work with Juan Castillo. That he didn't want to work with Jim Washburn. That he liked Drew Brees over Michael Vick. That he preferred the Saints' defensive personnel over the Eagles' defensive personnel. That he thought the Saints had a better chance to win a Super Bowl than the Eagles.
